Assembly Info

Assembly Info is an extension for Azure DevOps that populates assembly information metadata from a build pipeline.

The extension contains 2 tasks: - one which targets Net Framework projects and another task which targets Net Core / Net Standard projects.

How to use the build task

  1. Create or edit a build definition.
  2. Click Add build step... and add the Assembly Info task from the Build category.
  3. Move the Assembly Info task to the desired position ensuring it precedes the build task.

Net Core Task Position Net Framework Task Position

  1. Configure the task by providing values for the attributes. For versioning examples please see the wiki page.
  2. The result, an assembly with the manifest data applied:

Assembly Info Set

Considerations

  • The task will only update files listed in the Source Files field.
  • The task can update project AssemblyInfo files and .Net Core / .Net Standard project files .csproj.
  • If no value is specified for a field that field will be ignored and the default value in the source file will be used.

Help and Support

For detailed instructions on how to configure the extension please see the wiki.

Timeout errors or never ending process

This extension collects telemetry data which can cause in errors when the build server can not reach the telemetry service. Try to shut it off in the build step settings (Logging/Disable Telemetry) or by setting the variable DisableTelemetry to true.

Upgrade to Version 2

With the release of version 2 the extension has been re-written from the ground up using Node.js and includes a number of breaking changes. Please see the wiki for details on the upgrade.
